Hince why it's gonna be messy.

I see your point, but WHY sign such a LONG (time) contract too? Either could mean they have something over you, OR the person who signed it was STUPID to agree to those terms (& should the other party be at fault for that)?

On the flip side is the B1G spreading itself too thin?

BUT the GA was/is between Ga./Fl./SC. What's that to do with Texas?

Crazy thought:

If four of the top teams all say they are leaving at the same time,

1. Does the ACC continue to exist
2. Do you have to pay them?

The reality is that the ACC is an agreement between schools. Not a governing body.

So if let’s say Miami, FSU, Clemson and Virginia or VaTech also say we are out at the same time, does that in essence kill the conference and make all payments null and void?

quote:

Many SEC fans don't want to see it but the Big 10 is better off because they spread their media assets around to 3 entities while the SEC put all their assets into the ESPN/ABC basket. FSU is going to the Big 10 and they will be joined by UNC, Clemson, Miami and possibly UVA.

That’ll actually work, and then the SEC gets into NC and VA with NC st and VA Tech, and then ESPN pays the SEC for a 9th conference game with the extra money left by the dissolved ACC, so we’ll add the last 2 states in the southeast completing the southeastern map, a 9th conference game plus extra money…….sounds like a win win win for the SEC, we just need fsu to be successful in this.

I saw where FSU has filed a lawsuit against the ACC. If they willingly signed the grant of rights they are fricked.

The real loser is SMU. They gave up 10 years of revenue to join a conference that probably won’t exist by the time they’re supposed to get paid.

That decision in 1992 really hurt Noles
